Abidal didn't take the risk

by Yannick Pelayo

Eric Abidal took part in the warm-up for AS Monaco FC at the Stade Bonal. The captain wanted to have one last fitness test before the match after feeling pain in his quadriceps the day before the match. In the end, he preferred not taking any risk.

The final decision was taken in accordance with the club's technical and medical staff, given the large number of matches already played this season by the central defender and the busy schedule with three matches next week against Lyon, Reims (Coupe de la Ligue) and Lille.
